LOVE LESSONS FROM THE OLD WEST:

Wisdom From Wild Women, By Chris Enss

With a foreword by New York Times-best-selling author Brenda Novak

TwoDot, an imprint of Globe Pequot Press, is proud to announce the January 7, 2014, release of LOVE LESSONS FROM THE OLD WEST: Wisdom from Wild Women (978-0-7627-7400-2; $16.95 paperback; 10 b&w photos).

From Calamity Jane’s relentless pursuit of Wild Bill Hickok to Emma Walters, who gave it all up for the dashing Bat Masterson and lived to regret it, many Love Lessons from the Old West still resonate today — and all are entertaining!

Readers will meet Agnes Lake Hickok, the intrepid wife of Wild Bill Hickok and learn about the last love letter he sent before being dealt the dead man’s hand. Learn the story behind the charming performer Lotta Crabtree’s heartaches. And discover the tale of the dashing Kit Carson and his beautiful bride.

This latest collection from popular author Chris Enss (Hearts West, Object Matrimony, and many others) assembles the lessons learned by the women who shaped the West — and from whom we can still learn a thing or two today.

Author Chris Enss is an author, scriptwriter and comedienne who has written for television and film, and performed on cruise ships and on stage. She has worked with award-winning musicians, writers, directors, producers, and as a screenwriter for Tricor Entertainment, but her passion is for telling the stories of the men and women who shaped the history and mythology of the American West. Some of the most famous names in history, not to mention film and popular culture, populate her more than 20 published books.
